Exploit by comex, ELF loading code by Team Twiizers. Bug used was discovered by svpe.

This exploit exploits a vulnerability in SSBB's stage builder code to run arbitrary homebrew code. Currently it will load an elf file from /boot.elf on the SD card.

This exploit differs from others in the fact that it is quite difficult for Nintendo to patch. There is no method on the Wii for patching games, and as this exploit does not go through the System Menu, it can not be patched by Nintendo at this time.

All you have to do to use this exploit is delete all custom stages on your Wii, then copy over the file. When you etner the Stage Builder menu, it will automatically run /boot.elf on SD.

If your SD card has a private directory, rename it temporarily, e.g. to "privateold". Having other saved channels on the same card will screw it up. (Also, if you don't have any channels on the SD card already, it's possible to skip this step so you can keep saves on your SD card)

Copy the Bannerbomb "private" folder to the root of your SD card.

Take your Wii executable, name it "boot.dol" or "boot.elf" if it isn't already, and save it in the root directory of your SD card.

Put your SD card in your Wii and turn it on.

Go into Wii Options --> Data Management --> Channels --> SD Card.

A message should appear asking to "load boot.dol/.elf". If it freezes or does not appear, download the next .zip file from the Bannerbomb website and start over.

Launch Homebrew Channel and install IOS16 Wad with Wadmanager 1.36. In the /apps/ directory of the SD card, create a new directory called WadManagerIOS167. In the 3in1Softmod_REV3 pack there is a Wii_SD_Card directory. Copy the boot.mod file (**NOT BOOT.DOL**) to the /apps/WadManagerIOS16 directory on your SD card. Rename it to Boot.dol. NOTE: for those who are having trouble renaming, here is the boot.dol file already renamed from boot.mod. Sometimes Windows has trouble renaming file extensions.8. Copy 07-cIOS249-v7_waninkokoFULL-nw7.wad from the 3in1Softmod_REV3/Wii_SD_Card/directory to you WAD directory on the SD card (/wad/ in the root of SD card)9. Launch Homebrew Channel and install 07-cIOS249-v7_waninkokoFULL-nw7.wad using WadManagerIOS16 (if you install is via Wad Manager 1.3 you will get an error).10.Dowload Backup Launcher 0.3gamma, and place it in the /apps/ directory on your SD card. Run Backup Launcher from the Homebrew Channel and you should be good to go! This worked with no issues on my 3.4 Wii.11. I tested a backup launched directly from the backup launcher and had no problems!
